Dose-dependent effect of carbohydrate restriction for type 2 diabetes management: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Carbohydrate restriction can exert a significant and important reduction on levels of cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. Levels of most cardiometabolic outcomes decreased linearly with the decrease in carbohydrate intake. U-shaped effects were seen for total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol at 6 months and for body weight at 12 months. |

Abnormal urinary loss of vitamin C in diabetes: prevalence and clinical characteristics of a vitamin C renal leak. Increased prevalence of vitamin C renal leak in diabetes is associated with reduced plasma vitamin C concentrations. Glycemic control, microvascular complications, obesity, and proteinuria are predictive of renal leak. |
Association between postterm pregnancy and adverse growth outcomes in preschool-aged children. Postterm pregnancy was associated with a higher risk of thinness, and a lower risk of overweight/obesity, as well as lower growth parameters in preschool-aged children. These findings implied that postterm pregnancy may impede the long-term growth of offspring. |
Visceral, subcutaneous, and total fat mass accumulation in a prospective cohort of adolescents. Sex and race differences in the deposition and accumulation of excess fat are important considerations for understanding obesity prevalence and obesity-related disease risk among adolescents. Clinical Trials Registration # NCT02784509. |

Caregiver perspectives on the everyday medical and social needs of long-term pediatric liver transplant patients. This study highlights the caregiver perspective on barriers and facilitators to post-transplant care. Future work should identify whether these themes are present across transplant centers. Caregiver perspectives should help inform future interventions aimed at improving long-term outcomes for children after liver transplantation. |
Location and allocation: inequity of access to liver transplantation for patients with severe acute-on-chronic liver failure in Europe. Patients with ACLF-3 face inequity of access to LT across Europe. Wait-listing strategies for ACLF-3 patients influence their access to LT and, ultimately, their survival. |

Burden of pancreatic cancer along with attributable risk factors in China from 1990 to 2019, and projections until 2030. We projected that the incident cases and deaths of pancreatic cancer would increase to 218.79 thousand and 222.97 thousand, respectively, in 2030 with around 2 times growth. During the past three decades, the incidence, mortality and DALYs of pancreatic cancer gradually increased in China, and the absolute number and rate of pancreatic cancer burden would continue to rise over the next decade. Comprehensive policies and strategies need to be implemented to reduce the incidence and mortality. |
Impact of abdominal imaging on the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in patients with painless lipase elevation. 1/3 to 1/4 of these may have AP. Abdominal imaging increases the diagnosis of AP in patients with painless lipase elevation. Therefore, abdominal imaging in such patients may help detect AP that otherwise eludes diagnosis. |
